Abstract

We report on an ultrahigh resolution photoemission study on the topmost molecular layer of K3C60 and Rb3C60 films below and above the superconducting transition temperature T-C. We observed not only clear evidence for the opening of the superconducting gap, but also a modification in the photoemission line shape consistent with a change from a normal-metallic to a BCS-like density of states, including the formation of a condensation peak. The data can be accurately modeled by a BCS-type function with a gap Delta derived from T-C in the weak-coupling limit (2 Delta/k(B)T(C) = 3.53).
